"AAAH" Both Anne and Daniel screamed out as they fell onto the floor after the portal dropped them.
"Ugh, well it was easier the first time." Daniel said as he got up and helped Anne up as well.
"Yeah, next time watch out!" She wipe off the dirt that was on her jeans and look around. They landed in the middle of the forest. It was dark and gloomy and she was able to spot out a castle that was also extremely dark, almost sad looking. "Is that the kingdom of Corona?" Anne asked him.
"Yeah."
"Why is everything so dark and sad?"
"Ever since Maleficent cast her curse, it was ruled by all her evil minions, and of course being evil and all, they took over the kingdom, so now it's like this. My kingdom was completely destroyed months ago, my parents and a couple of out subjects managed to flee over here since your kingdom is the only one standing that the ghouls haven't took over..yet"
"Where are your parents?"
"They're being held hostage along with your parents in their own castle. I was there, but I managed to escape." He started to look around. "I think we should get going, a ghoul shouldn't far from here."
"Where are we going?" Anne asked him.
"I found a secret hide-out in this forest, hopefully the ghouls don't find it soon."
They continued to walk in silence, until Anne asked him something, "soo handsome, how were you able to figure out that I'm this "Sapphire girl" and the 'savoir'?" she made finger quotes.
"Well I..." he trailed off after he heard footsteps coming closer.
He gasped, "quick hide," he pushed Anne into the bushes.
"Ow," she rubbed her head, "you could of asked nicely."
"Sh, they'll hear us." Then he jumped into the bushes too.
"What is it?"
"Ghouls, if they find us, they'll capture and probably kill us."
"What do these ghouls look like?"
"Like monsters."
"Ugh, I know that, but do they have three eyes? A big nose? A-" Daniel put his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet. She got pissed.
"I told you to be quiet or they'll hear us." Daniel peeped out to make sure the ghoul passed, and he wasn't there anymore. "Alright, I think it's gone."
"You know, for a prince, you're not very much of a gentleman."
He narrowed his eyes at her. "I guess we better get going."
They walked some more until Daniel stopped.
"What now?" Anne asked.
"In here," he walked into these leaves.
Anne raised her eyebrow, and followed him. It was a tunnel that led to an abandoned tower. "So this is your hide-out?"
"Yeah, no ghoul has been around here, or anyone else." He walked around the tower that had an opening and they both went in.
"So, you even managed to decorate a bit?" Anne asked as she looked around the tower.
"Oh no it was like this when I got here. Good thing you weren't here when I found this chunk load of hair."
"Hair?" Anne asked a bit confused.
Anne looked up and noticed the paintings, they were all so beautiful. She then paid attention to a specific painting. One that had a floating lanterns and a young girl with extremely long, blond hair looking up at them. She then remembered that Rapunzel once had very long hair, but was cut by Flynn.
"Hey princy," she asked, "is this suppose to be Rapunzel?"
He looked at the painting, "oh well I think so, my mom did tell me about her hair. I never noticed that."
"You've been here, and you've never noticed it?"
"Well I've only been here for a week, and it's not like I'm cramped in here all the time."
She looked at the painting again, that girl is suppose to be her mother, her biological mother, the one who left her. "Was the hair you found here, was it blond?"
"No, it was brown, why?"
"Oh then it can't be. Just wondering."
"Ookkayyy, well you want an apple?" He handed her an apple.
"Uh thanks," she was about to bite it, "wait, this isn't poisoned, right? Because you know we are in fairy tale land and-"
"It's not poisoned, don't worry. You haven't drived me crazy..yet."
"Funny," she said as she took a bite of the apple, "so, you haven't answered my questions."
"Oh right, well it's going to be long."
"We have time."
Daniel laughed, "you know has anyone told you how stubborn you are."
"Princy, you have no idea."
